Race-by-race preview and tips for Monday meeting at Warren
Track Soft 5 and rail True Race 1 3. Wolf Club draws the inside and can go back to back, stepping up in trip from a tough CL1 win 13 days ago. Hard fit for this, gets a soft run on or near the speed and further boosted with the early favourite being preferred at Sunday's Muswellbrook meeting. 4. Sian is over the odds coming off a dominant and last-start BM 58 win well into the prep. 7. Hideyo was given little or no chance last start, held up and shuffled back behind the former, but did finish off well when clear late. 1. Yak another last start winner in BM 58 grade over a similar trip, and 6. Instead, who has been in and around the money all prep can both figure in the money. How to play it: Wolf Club to win Race 2 13. Spring Prospect is a lightly raced filly drawn to get the right run inside, and strike at just her third start. Was backed from $3.50 to $3.20 ahead of a solid effort at Parkes, and extra fitness can get her home. 14. Sneaky Pee Cee is a two-year-old debutante by Winning Rupert, and a big market watch behind a steady trial. 4. London Boy is an improver back on firmer ground, and also draws to get a sound run just off the speed. At bigger odds, keep safe 12. Saint Philomena getting on to a much preferred bigger track second-up. 11. Miss Rovilea is a four-year-old mare by Kobayashi also having her first start off a quiet trial. How to play it: Spring Prospect to win Race 3 14. The Git Up is an underrated and still improving mare who can launch third-up over 100m further at good odds after being given a torrid run at Wellington three weeks back. Drawn to get a lovely camp behind the speed in what is an open and wide race, and a superior and stronger jockey takes over. 10. Matilda Of Tuscany is also well-placed, improving into her third start over more ground. Must include 8. Down The Kooka, who can figure getting back on to better ground second-up, also from a handy trailing draw. 12. Fetes Des Meres has to tuck in from a wide barrier, but she gets the blinkers back on a month between runs, and having her first start in NSW. 7. Twining Class and 13. I Don't Think So can both add value into trifecta and first four plays. How to play it: The Git Up to win Race 4 5. Miss You So is a lightly raced and improving three-year-old in the Rodney Northam stable at Scone who is searching for further second-up. Will ultimately be better over a longer trip, but will relish getting back onto a much bigger track, and with decent speed on, only needs a clear crack at them from the 350m mark. 17. Matilda Of Tuscany is first reserve here, and likely to start in the previous race, although is suited up in trip third-up. 1. Carrick draws to get a soft run over a furlong further, but still needs to improve. 9. Bold Bender is very fit deep into the prep, while 14. Withania has beaten all but the winner in her last two, but more depth in this. 13. Winning Reign heads the rest. How to play it: Miss You So win

Lundholm confident gelding will show his class at Wellington
Dubbo horseman Clint Lundholm will make the short trip to Wellington on Tuesday with a number of leading contenders set to represent the stable. Lundholm has Twining Class set to break through for a first win when it contests the LSS Locksmith & Security Solutions Country Boosted Maiden Plate (1000m). 'He's only had the two starts, but they have both been good efforts,' Lundholm said. 'Kody Nestor takes the ride, and if he gets any luck from the awkward draw, then he should be hard to hold out.' Georgina McDonnell takes the ride on the Lundholm-trained Good View in the OTL Over The Line Racing Class 1 & Maiden Plate (1700m). 'She's a filly by Brutal, and she has been heading in the right direction,' Lundholm said. 'Her latest run was OK and she's drawn the rails.' Lundholm has a two-prong attack in the Federal Hotel Maiden Handicap (1100m) with Matilda Of Tuscany (Mitch Stapleford) and Best Defence (Zoe Hunt). 'Matilda Of Tuscany had won a trial at Wellington and finished second in another at Dubbo before she debuted with a third at Narromine when beaten just over two lengths,' Lundholm said. 'And Best Defence was having his first start for me when he was just edged out by Micro Mikki at Narromine. He's been placed in five of his 12 starts having been with Cody Morgan and Todd Howlett before me, and he's just about ready to win.' Willinga Karisma (Nestor) represents the stable in the Grand Hotel & Bottle Shop Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Handicap (1400m).
